A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The unlikely political rise of a gregarious Greek-American in the land of Dixie where old times are not forgotten may be a half-century old, but it resonates in today’s political environment. Pick Nick: The Political Odyssey of Nick Galifianakis from Immigrant Son to Congressman is a fascinating and intimate look at Galifianakis’ political career in the context of a changing South. From his origins at his father’s Durham, North Carolina restaurant through his stunning political successes to a final doomed battle for the Senate, Nick Galifianakis mastered the art of politics and showed what was possible-- and what was not-- in the American South in the ‘60s and ‘70s. In a state of political transition, the South of the 1960s was trading its solid Democratic past for a Republican future. North Carolina had long prided itself on its ability to escape a past that weighed heavily on an ability to grasp the future. Among the states of the Confederacy, they said, North Carolina was different. But was it? The book is the perfect companion to the final stages of the 2016 election season; the parallels are striking.
